Your recent addition to Ron Cox has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. —C.Fred (talk) 03:05, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- Even if you think it's okay to add the text, it's against the rules to use it unless the owners of the text release it into the public domain or under GFDL or Creative Commons license. If they license the text to Wikipedia, it then becomes available to use—freely—by any other party in any derivative form.
- Even with a license, the text would need heavily edited for tone. It would also need citations of independent reliable sources.
- Additionally, because you work for Hixson, I suggest you review the rules for editing when you have a conflict of interest with the subject. —C.Fred (talk) 03:18, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
